As a visionary in the beauty microbiome space, Dr. Marie Drago, founder of Gallinée, is leading the way in microbiome-based beauty innovation. Recently, there’s been growing evidence of a link between certain skin bacteria and mental well-being. When developing my own supplements for the skin axis, I include astaxanthin, as it’s a rare but highly effective ingredient. Stress, for example, shows up in both the skin and gut, and gut issues can cause stress and skin problems. So, it’s actually much easier to explain or market supplements for the brain-skin axis than it was for the skin microbiome.
